What a scare from my Mom

As most of you know from reading my daughter Jen's blog we had quite a scare today where my Mom was concerned. I'm happy to report that she is resting comfortably at my sisters house. She slept most of the afternoon which she really needed. Mom is 88 and this past year has been pretty hard on her health wise. With the great support of Jen and my sister Kitty we've been blessed with another year with Mom. She has high blood pressure which caused 3 heart attacks this past February. When I got the call this morning at work that she wasn't feeling well and then another call that she was being taken to the hospital so many things run through your mind. I left work and headed to the hospital. When I got there I realized how really bad she actually did look. Her pressure was high and they had run tests and put a nitro patch on her and were monitoring her vitals. I was ever so glad to see Jen when she came into the ER. It means so much to me that she came to sit with us. I think in all the confusion this morning I didn't get the chance to tell her so. We've been blessed and Mom pulled through this one but I just know that one of these times we're not going to be so lucky. I'm constantly telling her I'm not done with her yet so she's not going anywhere. We lost my Dad back in 1999 and I'm still not over that.
So I just wanted to say to all of our quilty friends, THANK YOU for all of the extra prayers you offered up today for my MOM. They worked.
With all of that said I admit defeat and I'm not going to get the rest of my Christmas presents sewn. I think today's scare took the last bit out of me. Since I've been home from work all I've done is sleep. Fabric will get wrapped up and any other presents I was going out to get will be delivered when I get them. The tree has lights and that's good enough too. What is important to me is the love of my family and friends.
If I don't get a chance again I wish all of you and your families a very MERRY CHRISTMAS
